Abstract
The present invention provides methods of propagating rhinovirus C (RV-C) in a host cell; a host cell comprising an effective amount of a heterologous CDHR3 receptor such that the host cell can support propagation of rhinovirus C; and kits comprising at least one host cell previously unable to support rhinovirus C growth, wherein the host cell comprises a heterologous CDHR3 receptor and a sample of rhinovirus C. Methods of use are also provided.
Claims7
